Can the main Hobbit entry page be organized into sections? 🔗 link

Hello Henrik,

Is the bb-hosts file at http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit-cgi/viewconf.sh the same
one that creates the main entry page at http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/bb.html? 

I'm trying to figure out a way to organize the main Hobbit entry page (or
any page of subpages) into sections, something like this:


	Infrastructure
	DNS  (green dot)
	Security (dot)
	VPN (dot)             


	Development
	Source code (dot)
	Build servers (dot)
	QA (dot)


On pages full of hosts, I can use the "group" tag to organize the hosts into
sections. But on the main entry page, is there a way to organize the
pages/sub-pages into sections? 

You seem to be trying to do that at http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/bb.html, with
a section called "Pages Hosted Locally" and another section below called
"Remote Status Display" (though I understand that's a host and not a
subpage). I can't see anything in the bb-hosts file that says "Remote Status
Display", so I confess I'm not sure how that part is getting displayed on
the entry page.

Regards,
David

Yes.

You need to use the "title" tag in the bb-hosts file. Try something like
this:

  title Infrastructure
  page dns DNS
  ...your dns servers here...
  page security Security
  ...your security servers here...
  page vpn VPN
  ...your VPN servers here...

  title Development
  page sourcecode Source code
  ...your source-code servers here...
  page buildservers Build servers
  ...your build servers here...
  page qa QA
  ...your qa servers here...

You might want to look at changing the "--subpagecolumns=2" option for bbgen
(the BBGENOPTS setting in hobbitserver.cfg); in your case, 3 pages per row 
might be nicer.

Those headings are automatic.  The "Remote status display" is a section
for other Hobbit servers that report a summary status to my server.
